I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

Sunlight filtered through the slits in the curtains, casting dappled shadows across the safe house floor. Four young men sat around a table, their detailed action plan and collected evidence spread out before them. Their faces were filled with determination, their eyes gleaming with a dedication to justice.

"We are ready, it's time to act." Fu Siyuan said in a deep voice, with an unquestionable firmness in his voice.

Zhang Wanqing nodded. Although she was a little nervous, she was more looking forward to the truth that was about to be revealed.

Lin Feng and Li Wei also showed unprecedented seriousness and concentration.

The operation began, and the four young people acted separately according to the plan. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan were responsible for leading the police to the criminal organization's lair, while Lin Feng and Li Wei were responsible for maintaining close contact with the police to ensure the smooth progress of the operation.

As they made their way through the city streets, carefully avoiding the eyes and ears of the criminal organization, Zhang Wanqing felt a surge of anxiety and tension.

Finally, they arrived at the criminal organization's lair. It was a seemingly ordinary office building. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan took a deep breath, adjusted their emotions, and then led the police into the office building.

The office building was dim and quiet, broken only by the occasional sound of footsteps and voices. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan led the police, swiftly rushing up the stairs toward the criminal organization's lair. Their hearts were filled with tension and anticipation, knowing a fierce battle was about to unfold.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from upstairs. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan were startled, knowing something was wrong. They quickly signaled the police to stop and then cautiously approached the source of the sound.

"Someone is coming." Fu Siyuan said in a low voice, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Wanqing nodded, and she quickly took out a knife from her pocket and held it tightly in her hand. She knew that if they were discovered, they would be in even greater danger.

The footsteps grew closer, and Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan's heartbeats quickened. They knew this was the crucial moment that would determine victory or defeat. Suddenly, a dark figure appeared from the stairs. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan reacted quickly, rushing forward and subduing the figure.

"Who are you?!" the black shadow asked loudly, his eyes filled with panic and fear.

"We are the police. You are suspected of participating in the activities of a criminal organization. We are now arresting you according to the law." The policeman said loudly, with a hint of majesty in his voice.

When the black shadow heard the police's words, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes. He knew that his crime had been exposed. He did not resist and was taken away by the police obediently.

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that this was only the first step and the real battle was still to come. They continued to lead the police towards the criminal organization's lair, taking every step carefully.

Finally, they arrived at the criminal organization's lair. It was a spacious office filled with various office equipment and documents. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan quickly rushed into the office and subdued the criminal organization members one by one.

"You are finally here." A familiar voice came from the corner of the office. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan were startled and turned around to see a familiar figure walking out of the shadows.

"It's you?!" Zhang Wanqing said in surprise. She couldn't believe her eyes. The person in front of her was a familiar face.

Standing before Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan was a colleague they had always trusted, Zhang Kai. Zhang Kai was a senior reporter at their newspaper, covering social news. He looked his usual self, dressed in a neat suit and with a hint of a smile on his face, but a hint of coldness lingered in his eyes.

"Zhang Kai, why are you here?" Fu Siyuan asked in a deep voice, with a hint of anger and disappointment in his eyes.

Zhang Kai smiled faintly, as if all this was within his expectations. "You've finally discovered that I've actually been holding an important position in a criminal organization. I used my identity as a reporter to gather intelligence and provide cover for them."

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan were shocked. They couldn't believe that their trusted colleague was actually a member of a criminal organization. They recalled some of the details from the past. Zhang Kai always knew their investigation plans in advance and always provided some seemingly useful but actually misleading information at critical moments.

"Why are you doing this?" Zhang Wanqing asked loudly, her eyes full of anger and confusion.

Zhang Kai sneered, "For money, for power, for the ability to control everything. You so-called messengers of justice have no idea how cruel this world is. I'm using you just to achieve my goals."

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan were filled with anger and disappointment. They had never expected that their trusted colleague was actually a member of a criminal organization. They knew that although the operation was successful, their newspaper was also in crisis.

"Don't be too proud, I still have a backup plan." Zhang Kai suddenly said, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan knew the situation was dire. They quickly subdued Zhang Kai and continued searching the office for evidence. They knew that only by finding more evidence could they bring down the criminal organization and bring justice to the victims.

Inside Zhang Kai's office, Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan quickly began searching. They knew it must contain crucial evidence of a criminal organization. They meticulously checked every filing cabinet and drawer, leaving no detail unturned.

Finally, in a hidden drawer, they found an encrypted hard drive with a note on it that read: "Everything is here."

"This is the evidence we are looking for." Fu Siyuan said excitedly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Zhang Wanqing nodded. She quickly inserted the hard drive into her computer and began cracking the encryption. After some effort, she finally succeeded in opening the hard drive, revealing a vast amount of documents and information. These documents detailed the crimes of the criminal organization, including money laundering, smuggling, and the trafficking of counterfeit cultural relics.

With the full support of the police, the members of the criminal organization were arrested one by one. Zhang Kai was also taken into police custody. Faced with the overwhelming evidence, he finally bowed his head. Zhang Kai's betrayal angered Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan. They once admired the veteran journalist, but in the end, he succumbed to the dark forces of money and power.

"I didn't expect that Zhang Kai would be the final boss behind the scenes. He was once my role model. When I first arrived at the newspaper, I read all his news investigations. He was so brave and so just. From his reports, I not only saw the professional qualities that a journalist should have, but also a warrior who was as chivalrous as Superman and Spider-Man. I still remember that at the newspaper's new employee induction meeting, he spoke on behalf of his predecessors. He said that his original intention was to become a reporter who seeks justice for the people. However, I didn't expect... he... would change his original intention for money one day. Alas... I still can't figure it out..." Zhang Wanqing said disappointedly.

"Wanqing, you have to allow others to change themselves, that is something we cannot change. Because everyone has the right to choose how to live their life. Some people will stick to truth and justice all their lives, while some people will become bad because of greed. But, you and I will not change. There is a saying that goes, don't forget your original intention just because you move too fast." Fu Siyuan said earnestly.

Zhang Wanqing looked at Fu Siyuan with mixed feelings, but she believed what he said. He and she would never change their original intentions.
